If you're British, then you need to read this post... especially if you went to a British primary school. I've put together a list of the most relatable British childhood memories after hours of searching through '#growingupbritish' tweets on Twitter and I'm 99% sure that you will be able to relate to at least one of them; if you do then definitely let me know which one!
